Offer $500 Grants For PPE
Otsego County small businesses and not-for-profit corporations with fewer than 50 employees are eligible for grants up to $500 to buy PPE (personal protective equipment) or install fixtures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, as long as Governor Cuomo’s emergency declaration is in effect.

To be eligible for a grant, a small business or not-for-profit corporation must meet these requirements:
• Was a financially viable entity prior to the state disaster emergency; and
• Conduct business in the area served by the Otsego County Industrial Development Agency; and
• Must be located outside the City of Oneonta; and
